Gloire recently moved from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to San Francisco to join UCSF’s PhD program in Epidemiology and Clinical Translational Science. He is interested in malaria and infectious disease epidemiology, biostatistics, transmission, and the use of mathematical models to inform malaria public health strategies.

Before moving to San Francisco, Gloire worked with PATH in DRC, supporting the programmatic implementation of the projects in Perennial Malaria Chemoprevention and Malaria vaccine rollout. Prior to that, he worked at the UCLA DRC Health research and training program in various research activities including the evaluation of the revitalization plan to boost vaccination coverage in the provinces of Haut Lomami and Tanganyika, CDC funded project on tracking rumors associated with COVID-19-vaccination in the Democratic Republic of Congo and FDA funded project on strengthening adverse events reporting for maternal immunization safety in Kinshasa, DRC. Under a UK Chevening scholarship, he conducted a Master of Public Health at the University of Aberdeen. There, he conducted a research project that investigated the burden of diarrheal diseases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is a time series analysis of the Global burden of disease from 1990 to 2019. The research was a secondary analysis that investigated the change of trends in prevalence, years lived with disability and mortality over time, and the contribution of Water, sanitation, and hygiene risk factors to the disease burden across all the age groups and the maternal and child malnutrition factors among under-5s. His research has been published at the BMC Public Health.

Also of note, Gloire was a Mandela Washington Fellow in 2018, a U.S Department of State scholarship for young African leaders to train in public management at Howard University.
